Re: [Ext] RE: Re: IRT Task 20241205: TQ.A: Provide feedback to on Draft Language for IRT Threshold Questions for GNSO Council Guidance. Due: 13 Dec 2024
13 Dec 2024: IRT Task due Date. 19 Dec 2024: IRT Meeting Date Thanks Brian, Reg, and those making comments on the doc for TQ A. The topic is “Changes to Definition Language.” I’d like the IRT to consider beyond the Principled position of NO CHANGE at ALL. At the lowest level of change are the typos and grammar. Then word changes to reflect currency and clarity etc. We will need to create our own draft of the definition for our implementation. Could this be done without making any changes? For example, we can look at the work done by the 2016 IRT here. Final Report Definition P/P AA Definition "Privacy Service" means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to its beneficial user as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by the privacy or proxy service provider for display of the Registered Name Holder's contact information in the Registration Data Service (WHOIS) or equivalent services. 1.24 “Privacy Service” means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to a Customer as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by Provider for display in the Registration Data Directory Service rather than the Customer’s contact information in the Registration Data Directory Service.

Dennis, I agree with Reg, and will go even further: it is not within the remit of an IRT to make any changes to the Final Report and recommendations contained therein. There can be changes to the Final Report via the GNSO Council prior to adoption by the Board, but once approved by the Board, the IRT is "convened to assist staff in developing the implementation details for the policy to ensure that the implementation conforms to the intent of the policy recommendations” (quoting the GNSO Implementation Review Team (IRT) Principles & Guidelines). Changes to the Final Report, no matter how laudable, desirable, or logical, are completely outside of the scope of an IRT. Hard stop. To the extent the IRT can implement the recommendations with tweaks, those changes must align with the intent of the Final Report. Regards, Owen

Agree with Own and Reg. An IRT can't change definitions in the Final Report and then implement what we wish the Final Report said. If the IRT believes a change to the Final Report is needed, that should be flagged as for Council to consider, not for the IRT to do on its own.

Final Report Definition P/P AA Definition "Privacy Service" means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to its beneficial user as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by the privacy or proxy service provider for display of the Registered Name Holder's contact information in the Registration Data Service (WHOIS) or equivalent services. 1.24 "Privacy Service" means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to a Customer as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by Provider for display in the Registration Data Directory Service rather than the Customer's contact information in the Registration Data Directory Service.

Please can we also attribute the "concerns and inputs" to individuals to give them context. More fundamentally however, we seem to be missing the core question of whether subsequent events (e.g., GDPR and NIS2) somehow "overtake" the PPSAI recommendations such that they need to be reconsidered in whole or in part. Perhaps that is the gist of question 3, but it is not immediately clear to me if that is the case. I also think questions such as "would this require a new contract" or things to that effect are beyond the scope of this IRT and need not be asked here.

Due: 13 Dec 2024 Dennis- Thank you! I've made some comments/edits to the document. There is no confusion about who the party responsible for the domain is-it is the registrant, in all cases. Where a service is affiliated with a registrar, the registrar has that information (and no other). Where a service is not affiliated with a registrar, that service is the registrant, whether or not it is apparent that a service exists. I'm pretty sure only the first question needs to be asked. The second two questions assume that the IRT can subvert the PDP by creating policy, which is the job of the working group, not of the IRT. Or of Council.

Agree. And what is sent back to Council should be rooted in a change to law, ICANN policy, or industry technology that has taken place after Council passed these Recommendations to the Board.

Then word changes to reflect currency and clarity etc. We will need to create our own draft of the definition for our implementation. Could this be done without making any changes?

Please can we also attribute the “concerns and inputs” to individuals to give them context. More fundamentally however, we seem to be missing the core question of whether subsequent events (e.g., GDPR and NIS2) somehow “overtake” the PPSAI recommendations such that they need to be reconsidered in whole or in part. Perhaps that is the gist of question 3, but it is not immediately clear to me if that is the case. I also think questions such as “would this require a new contract” or things to that effect are beyond the scope of this IRT and need not be asked here.

Agreeing with Michele, we are charged with identifying any recommendations that are not fit for purpose. But it is not within our scope to change the intent of those recommendations. IRT virtually always result in a written policy that differs in wording from that used in the recommendations. This is often necessary to ensure clarity and implementability. If a definition needs to be re-worded to ensure it is understandable and clear, and does NOT change the intent of the original wording, I believe that this is within the IRT's scope.

13 Dec 2024: IRT Task due Date.
19 Dec 2024: IRT Meeting Date
Thanks Brian, Reg, and those making comments on the doc for TQ A.
The topic is “Changes to Definition Language.”
I’d like the IRT to consider beyond the Principled position of NO CHANGE at ALL.
At the lowest level of change are the typos and grammar. Then word changes to reflect currency and clarity etc.
We will need to create our own draft of the definition for our implementation.
Could this be done without making any changes?
For example, we can look at the work done by the 2016 IRT here.
*Final Report Definition*
*P/P AA Definition*
"Privacy Service" means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to its beneficial user as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by the privacy or proxy service provider for display of the Registered Name Holder's contact information in the Registration Data Service (WHOIS) or equivalent services.
1.24 “Privacy Service” means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to a Customer as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by Provider for display in the Registration Data Directory Service rather than the Customer’s contact information in the Registration Data Directory Service.
Please complete this task this week.

Hi Reg, Denis, all,
I have added a comment in the document (I may be misunderstanding the relation here, but question 2 seems to be linked to question 1, and question 3 flows from that connection).
Please can we also attribute the “concerns and inputs” to individuals to give them context.
More fundamentally however, we seem to be missing the core question of whether subsequent events (e.g., GDPR and NIS2) somehow “overtake” the PPSAI recommendations such that they need to be reconsidered in whole or in part. Perhaps that is the gist of question 3, but it is not immediately clear to me if that is the case.
I also think questions such as “would this require a new contract” or things to that effect are beyond the scope of this IRT and need not be asked here.
Brian
PS, it may only be me, but there still seems to be an issue with the mtg ICS invites.

Dennis—
Thank you! I’ve made some comments/edits to the document. There is no confusion about who the party responsible for the domain is—it is the registrant, in all cases. Where a service is affiliated with a registrar, the registrar has that information (and no other). Where a service is not affiliated with a registrar, that service is the registrant, whether or not it is apparent that a service exists.
I’m pretty sure only the first question needs to be asked. The second two questions assume that the IRT can subvert the PDP by creating policy, which is the job of the working group, not of the IRT. Or of Council.
*Servus*,
Reg

When you open the document, you will see the “About” and “Instructions” which I hope will sufficiently explain your task.
Please don’t hesitate to ask if you’d like further info.
One note about the expand/collapse heading feature.
You may see only the headers when you open the document. Please note “>” or “v” appeal when you place your curser over the Section header.
You’ll see a message “Expand Heading” or “Collapse Heading” that you can click on to reveal or hide the content of the section.
I find this new feature very helpful in orienting and organizing our work and I’d like us to use it.
At this time of this email, you’ll see TQ A populated with the Draft Language for Questions to GNSO with the “Status: Initial draft review by IRT (5 Dec 2024)”
TQ B below is also there being set up with the status “ICANN org drafting.”
We plan to issue separate tasks for each TQ work to keep us together as we move forward.
Thank you all for your continued support and contribution.
Our staff here felt very badly about what happened with the calendar meeting invites but also remarked how cooperative, flexible, and understanding the IRT is working with us a team and even encouraging us.
We indeed have the most excellent IRT. Thank you!
Gratefully Yours,

Hi all, The question to me remains: While we are tasked to review the recommendations whether they are fit for purpose, this may result in a situation where the implementation of the rest will result in a meaningless, wasteful or incomplete policy. With the changes that have occurred since the recommendations were first reached resulting from both new policies on registration data and the legislative requirements resulting form regulations like NIS2, many of the current recommendations have been rendered obsolete at best and conflicting at worst. We should also consider that the entirety of the recommendations was the result of a carefully balanced compromise. Throwing out or replacing part of the original compromise can result in the remaining recommendations being unbalanced, essentially unravelling the entirety of the compromise. With this background, I would suggest drilling down to the essence of each recommendation to see what it was intended to achieve instead of worshipping the text of it as if it were a holy relic from ages past. If that is beyond our remit then we need to send the entire policy back to the GNSO, ideally with initial suggestions of what a modern PPSAI regulatory framework that it fit for purpose. -- Sincerely, Volker Greimann General Counsel - Registrar Division volker.greimann@centralnic.com<mailto:volker.greimann@centralnic.com> Office: +49-172-6367025<tel:+491726367025> Web: www.teaminternet.com<http://www.teaminternet.com> Team Internet Group PLC (AIM:TIG).

Due: 13 Dec 2024 Agreeing with Michele, we are charged with identifying any recommendations that are not fit for purpose. But it is not within our scope to change the intent of those recommendations. IRT virtually always result in a written policy that differs in wording from that used in the recommendations. This is often necessary to ensure clarity and implementability. If a definition needs to be re-worded to ensure it is understandable and clear, and does NOT change the intent of the original wording, I believe that this is within the IRT's scope.

Due: 13 Dec 2024 Dennis, I agree with Reg, and will go even further: it is not within the remit of an IRT to make any changes to the Final Report and recommendations contained therein. There can be changes to the Final Report via the GNSO Council prior to adoption by the Board, but once approved by the Board, the IRT is "convened to assist staff in developing the implementation details for the policy to ensure that the implementation conforms to the intent of the policy recommendations” (quoting the GNSO Implementation Review Team (IRT) Principles & Guidelines). Changes to the Final Report, no matter how laudable, desirable, or logical, are completely outside of the scope of an IRT. Hard stop. To the extent the IRT can implement the recommendations with tweaks, those changes must align with the intent of the Final Report.

Hi all,
The question to me remains:
While we are tasked to review the recommendations whether they are fit for purpose, this may result in a situation where the implementation of the rest will result in a meaningless, wasteful or incomplete policy.
With the changes that have occurred since the recommendations were first reached resulting from both new policies on registration data and the legislative requirements resulting form regulations like NIS2, many of the current recommendations have been rendered obsolete at best and conflicting at worst.
We should also consider that the entirety of the recommendations was the result of a carefully balanced compromise. Throwing out or replacing part of the original compromise can result in the remaining recommendations being unbalanced, essentially unravelling the entirety of the compromise.
With this background, I would suggest drilling down to the essence of each recommendation to see what it was intended to achieve instead of worshipping the text of it as if it were a holy relic from ages past. If that is beyond our remit then we need to send the entire policy back to the GNSO, ideally with initial suggestions of what a modern PPSAI regulatory framework that it fit for purpose.

Agreeing with Michele, we are charged with identifying any recommendations that are not fit for purpose. But it is not within our scope to change the intent of those recommendations.
IRT virtually always result in a written policy that differs in wording from that used in the recommendations. This is often necessary to ensure clarity and implementability.
If a definition needs to be re-worded to ensure it is understandable and clear, and does NOT change the intent of the original wording, I believe that this is within the IRT's scope.

Agree. And what is sent back to Council should be rooted in a change to law, ICANN policy, or industry technology that has taken place after Council passed these Recommendations to the Board. This cannot be a “I don’t like the outcomes of the PDP so this is my chance to relitigate” exercise. That is a nonstarter.

Dennis,
I agree with Reg, and will go even further: it is not within the remit of an IRT to make *any* changes to the Final Report and recommendations contained therein. There can be changes to the Final Report via the GNSO Council prior to adoption by the Board, but once approved by the Board, the IRT is "convened to assist staff in developing the implementation details for the policy to ensure that the implementation conforms to the intent of the policy recommendations” (quoting the GNSO Implementation Review Team (IRT) Principles & Guidelines).
Changes to the Final Report, no matter how laudable, desirable, or logical, are completely outside of the scope of an IRT. Hard stop. To the extent the IRT can implement the recommendations with tweaks, those changes must align with the intent of the Final Report.
Regards,
Owen

I’m *very* hesitant to make any changes to Working Group Recommendation language as the Implementation Review Team. This is a job for the Working Group itself. However reasonable we find the changes to be, it sets a very concerning precedent for the Policy Development Process.

Thanks Brian, Reg, and those making comments on the doc for TQ A.
The topic is “Changes to Definition Language.”
I’d like the IRT to consider beyond the Principled position of NO CHANGE at ALL.
At the lowest level of change are the typos and grammar. Then word changes to reflect currency and clarity etc.
We will need to create our own draft of the definition for our implementation.
Could this be done without making any changes?
For example, we can look at the work done by the 2016 IRT here.
*Final Report Definition*
*P/P AA Definition*
"Privacy Service" means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to its beneficial user as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by the privacy or proxy service provider for display of the Registered Name Holder's contact information in the Registration Data Service (WHOIS) or equivalent services.
1.24 “Privacy Service” means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to a Customer as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by Provider for display in the Registration Data Directory Service rather than the Customer’s contact information in the Registration Data Directory Service.

Hi Reg, Denis, all,
I have added a comment in the document (I may be misunderstanding the relation here, but question 2 seems to be linked to question 1, and question 3 flows from that connection).
Please can we also attribute the “concerns and inputs” to individuals to give them context.
More fundamentally however, we seem to be missing the core question of whether subsequent events (e.g., GDPR and NIS2) somehow “overtake” the PPSAI recommendations such that they need to be reconsidered in whole or in part. Perhaps that is the gist of question 3, but it is not immediately clear to me if that is the case.
I also think questions such as “would this require a new contract” or things to that effect are beyond the scope of this IRT and need not be asked here.
Brian
PS, it may only be me, but there still seems to be an issue with the mtg ICS invites.

Dennis—
Thank you! I’ve made some comments/edits to the document. There is no confusion about who the party responsible for the domain is—it is the registrant, in all cases. Where a service is affiliated with a registrar, the registrar has that information (and no other). Where a service is not affiliated with a registrar, that service is the registrant, whether or not it is apparent that a service exists.
I’m pretty sure only the first question needs to be asked. The second two questions assume that the IRT can subvert the PDP by creating policy, which is the job of the working group, not of the IRT. Or of Council.

When you open the document, you will see the “About” and “Instructions” which I hope will sufficiently explain your task.
Please don’t hesitate to ask if you’d like further info.
One note about the expand/collapse heading feature.
You may see only the headers when you open the document. Please note “>” or “v” appeal when you place your curser over the Section header.
You’ll see a message “Expand Heading” or “Collapse Heading” that you can click on to reveal or hide the content of the section.
I find this new feature very helpful in orienting and organizing our work and I’d like us to use it.
At this time of this email, you’ll see TQ A populated with the Draft Language for Questions to GNSO with the “Status: Initial draft review by IRT (5 Dec 2024)”
TQ B below is also there being set up with the status “ICANN org drafting.”
We plan to issue separate tasks for each TQ work to keep us together as we move forward.
Thank you all for your continued support and contribution.
Our staff here felt very badly about what happened with the calendar meeting invites but also remarked how cooperative, flexible, and understanding the IRT is working with us a team and even encouraging us.
We indeed have the most excellent IRT. Thank you!

We're at a weird place with this group work. We have a situation where the parallel evolution of other _stuff_ in the span of years while PPSAI was in the policy cellar, made it incompatible. Now we kind of have a process to follow for process' sake, despite it being new territory to do so, because of this being a new situation where the work got corked while in the cellar (to use a wine metaphor). We have some "IKEA effect" happening, coupled with some concerns about some participating SOACs that believed they had policy benefits from the original work perceiving there may be some loss of those benefits if the work undergoes the necessary reset, without recognition that those benefits are no longer available due to the many parallel evolutions. We have a Universal Acceptance issue. The faster we can all, Universally arrive at the 'Acceptance' phase of grieving about the need to reset, the faster we can attempt to get this back on the rails.

Dennis,
I agree with Reg, and will go even further: it is not within the remit of an IRT to make *any* changes to the Final Report and recommendations contained therein. There can be changes to the Final Report via the GNSO Council prior to adoption by the Board, but once approved by the Board, the IRT is "convened to assist staff in developing the implementation details for the policy to ensure that the implementation conforms to the intent of the policy recommendations” (quoting the GNSO Implementation Review Team (IRT) Principles & Guidelines).
Changes to the Final Report, no matter how laudable, desirable, or logical, are completely outside of the scope of an IRT. Hard stop. To the extent the IRT can implement the recommendations with tweaks, those changes must align with the intent of the Final Report.
Regards,
Owen

Thanks Brian, Reg, and those making comments on the doc for TQ A.
The topic is “Changes to Definition Language.”
I’d like the IRT to consider beyond the Principled position of NO CHANGE at ALL.
At the lowest level of change are the typos and grammar. Then word changes to reflect currency and clarity etc.
We will need to create our own draft of the definition for our implementation.
Could this be done without making any changes?
For example, we can look at the work done by the 2016 IRT here.
*Final Report Definition*
*P/P AA Definition*
"Privacy Service" means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to its beneficial user as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by the privacy or proxy service provider for display of the Registered Name Holder's contact information in the Registration Data Service (WHOIS) or equivalent services.
1.24 “Privacy Service” means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to a Customer as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by Provider for display in the Registration Data Directory Service rather than the Customer’s contact information in the Registration Data Directory Service.

Hi Reg, Denis, all,
I have added a comment in the document (I may be misunderstanding the relation here, but question 2 seems to be linked to question 1, and question 3 flows from that connection).
Please can we also attribute the “concerns and inputs” to individuals to give them context.
More fundamentally however, we seem to be missing the core question of whether subsequent events (e.g., GDPR and NIS2) somehow “overtake” the PPSAI recommendations such that they need to be reconsidered in whole or in part. Perhaps that is the gist of question 3, but it is not immediately clear to me if that is the case.
I also think questions such as “would this require a new contract” or things to that effect are beyond the scope of this IRT and need not be asked here.
Brian

Dennis—
Thank you! I’ve made some comments/edits to the document. There is no confusion about who the party responsible for the domain is—it is the registrant, in all cases. Where a service is affiliated with a registrar, the registrar has that information (and no other). Where a service is not affiliated with a registrar, that service is the registrant, whether or not it is apparent that a service exists.
I’m pretty sure only the first question needs to be asked. The second two questions assume that the IRT can subvert the PDP by creating policy, which is the job of the working group, not of the IRT. Or of Council.

+1. I was on the original WG. Seems to me recent developments in [national] privacy and related frameworks has shifted the ground under our feet. Maybe it's time to accept that the 'privacy' registration is the default profile. Maybe it is time to cut and run, throw the kit and caboodle back over the fence to the GNSO.

Hi all,
The question to me remains:
While we are tasked to review the recommendations whether they are fit for purpose, this may result in a situation where the implementation of the rest will result in a meaningless, wasteful or incomplete policy.
With the changes that have occurred since the recommendations were first reached resulting from both new policies on registration data and the legislative requirements resulting form regulations like NIS2, many of the current recommendations have been rendered obsolete at best and conflicting at worst.
We should also consider that the entirety of the recommendations was the result of a carefully balanced compromise. Throwing out or replacing part of the original compromise can result in the remaining recommendations being unbalanced, essentially unravelling the entirety of the compromise.
With this background, I would suggest drilling down to the essence of each recommendation to see what it was intended to achieve instead of worshipping the text of it as if it were a holy relic from ages past. If that is beyond our remit then we need to send the entire policy back to the GNSO, ideally with initial suggestions of what a modern PPSAI regulatory framework that it fit for purpose.

Agreeing with Michele, we are charged with identifying any recommendations that are not fit for purpose. But it is not within our scope to change the intent of those recommendations.
IRT virtually always result in a written policy that differs in wording from that used in the recommendations. This is often necessary to ensure clarity and implementability.
If a definition needs to be re-worded to ensure it is understandable and clear, and does NOT change the intent of the original wording, I believe that this is within the IRT's scope.

Also agreed. I’d simply view it as if the policy / outcome is no longer fit for purpose then it should be addressed
There’s no point in wasting time, energy or money on trying to implement a policy that doesn’t fit with reality.
And there’s a lot of things that neither of us like, but that’s not a good reason to change them.
Now when I’m anointed supreme being that might change of course …

Agree. And what is sent back to Council should be rooted in a change to law, ICANN policy, or industry technology that has taken place after Council passed these Recommendations to the Board. This cannot be a “I don’t like the outcomes of the PDP so this is my chance to relitigate” exercise. That is a nonstarter.
Best to all,

You don't often get email from michele@blacknight.com. Learn why this is important <https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
Exactly
The IRT is meant to implement the output of the PDP.
If people feel that something is “off” then it should be sent back to Council etc., - it is NOT for the IRT to make policy.

Agree with Own and Reg. An IRT can’t change definitions in the Final Report and then implement what we wish the Final Report said. If the IRT believes a change to the Final Report is needed, that should be flagged as for Council to consider, not for the IRT to do on its own.

Our staff here felt very badly about what happened with the calendar meeting invites but also remarked how cooperative, flexible, and understanding the IRT is working with us a team and even encouraging us.
We indeed have the most excellent IRT. Thank you!
Gratefully Yours,

Thanks everyone. For our discussion on the meeting coming up today, I’d like to use this document as a reference. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C02xuJJBvMWOal7zYp8kCjm0HfxjW2FuJFxTprp2... It’s an examination of the Definition Languages in the Final Report Recommendations and the work done at 2016 with then IRT. I am providing it here so that you can take a quick look prior to the meeting. Please note that we are not asking you to comment on this document. I’ll go over it at the meeting, but I found it helpful in thinking about the Threshold Question on Definition.

Due: 13 Dec 2024 +1. I was on the original WG. Seems to me recent developments in [national] privacy and related frameworks has shifted the ground under our feet. Maybe it's time to accept that the 'privacy' registration is the default profile. Maybe it is time to cut and run, throw the kit and caboodle back over the fence to the GNSO.

With the changes that have occurred since the recommendations were first reached resulting from both new policies on registration data and the legislative requirements resulting form regulations like NIS2, many of the current recommendations have been rendered obsolete at best and conflicting at worst. We should also consider that the entirety of the recommendations was the result of a carefully balanced compromise. Throwing out or replacing part of the original compromise can result in the remaining recommendations being unbalanced, essentially unravelling the entirety of the compromise. With this background, I would suggest drilling down to the essence of each recommendation to see what it was intended to achieve instead of worshipping the text of it as if it were a holy relic from ages past. If that is beyond our remit then we need to send the entire policy back to the GNSO, ideally with initial suggestions of what a modern PPSAI regulatory framework that it fit for purpose. -- Sincerely, Volker Greimann General Counsel - Registrar Division volker.greimann@centralnic.com<mailto:volker.greimann@centralnic.com> Office: +49-172-6367025<tel:+491726367025> Web: www.teaminternet.com [teaminternet.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.teaminternet.com__;!!PtGJab4!9ziAWmmBO...> Team Internet Group PLC (AIM:TIG).

Due: 13 Dec 2024 Agreeing with Michele, we are charged with identifying any recommendations that are not fit for purpose. But it is not within our scope to change the intent of those recommendations. IRT virtually always result in a written policy that differs in wording from that used in the recommendations. This is often necessary to ensure clarity and implementability. If a definition needs to be re-worded to ensure it is understandable and clear, and does NOT change the intent of the original wording, I believe that this is within the IRT's scope.

Due: 13 Dec 2024 Dennis, I agree with Reg, and will go even further: it is not within the remit of an IRT to make any changes to the Final Report and recommendations contained therein. There can be changes to the Final Report via the GNSO Council prior to adoption by the Board, but once approved by the Board, the IRT is "convened to assist staff in developing the implementation details for the policy to ensure that the implementation conforms to the intent of the policy recommendations” (quoting the GNSO Implementation Review Team (IRT) Principles & Guidelines). Changes to the Final Report, no matter how laudable, desirable, or logical, are completely outside of the scope of an IRT. Hard stop. To the extent the IRT can implement the recommendations with tweaks, those changes must align with the intent of the Final Report.

The topic is “Changes to Definition Language.” I’d like the IRT to consider beyond the Principled position of NO CHANGE at ALL. At the lowest level of change are the typos and grammar. Then word changes to reflect currency and clarity etc. We will need to create our own draft of the definition for our implementation. Could this be done without making any changes? For example, we can look at the work done by the 2016 IRT here. Final Report Definition P/P AA Definition "Privacy Service" means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to its beneficial user as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by the privacy or proxy service provider for display of the Registered Name Holder's contact information in the Registration Data Service (WHOIS) or equivalent services. 1.24 “Privacy Service” means a service by which a Registered Name is registered to a Customer as the Registered Name Holder, but for which alternative, reliable contact information is provided by Provider for display in the Registration Data Directory Service rather than the Customer’s contact information in the Registration Data Directory Service.

Due: 13 Dec 2024 Hi Reg, Denis, all, I have added a comment in the document (I may be misunderstanding the relation here, but question 2 seems to be linked to question 1, and question 3 flows from that connection). Please can we also attribute the “concerns and inputs” to individuals to give them context. More fundamentally however, we seem to be missing the core question of whether subsequent events (e.g., GDPR and NIS2) somehow “overtake” the PPSAI recommendations such that they need to be reconsidered in whole or in part. Perhaps that is the gist of question 3, but it is not immediately clear to me if that is the case. I also think questions such as “would this require a new contract” or things to that effect are beyond the scope of this IRT and need not be asked here. Brian PS, it may only be me, but there still seems to be an issue with the mtg ICS invites.

Due: 13 Dec 2024 Dennis— Thank you! I’ve made some comments/edits to the document. There is no confusion about who the party responsible for the domain is—it is the registrant, in all cases. Where a service is affiliated with a registrar, the registrar has that information (and no other). Where a service is not affiliated with a registrar, that service is the registrant, whether or not it is apparent that a service exists. I’m pretty sure only the first question needs to be asked. The second two questions assume that the IRT can subvert the PDP by creating policy, which is the job of the working group, not of the IRT. Or of Council.
